Assign admin permissions to a user in Recruiter

As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can assign admin permissions to new or existing users with active licenses.

Who can use this feature?

Only users with Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission type can manage licenses, roles, and permissions in LinkedIn Recruiter. To better secure your account, we encourage you to have a back-up admin by assigning the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission to one or more current or new users on the dashboard. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave.

Important to know

The Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission type is automatically configured within the Recruiter Admin and Dashboard Manager Admin preset roles. However, you can also apply the permission type within a custom role. Applying this permission type to a custom role allows you to assign an admin that can perform user and license management activities, without using a paid license. To configure this custom role, select the Hiring Collaborator License and the Product Settings and Account Center Admin additional permission setting.

To assign admin permissions to an existing user in Recruiter:

Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Manage users in Admin Center from the dropdown.
On the User & license management tab, in the Users section, find the user(s) whose permissions you want to manage.
- You can search by name or email, or filter by License type, License status, and Groups.
Select Manage licenses at the bottom.
Select one of the Preset Roles that includes the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission, or click Custom Role to select a license, and select the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission.
Click Confirm.

After you assign the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission to a user, they’ll be able to manage licenses, permissions, and roles within LinkedIn Admin Center.
